What happens on bank holidays during term time????

Are pre-schools allowed to claim for them even though they are not offering a session?

They only cover a cetain number of weeks per year to correspond iwth term times so no they shouldn't claim them when the children are not there.

that's what I thought.

My dd does not yet get the vouchers when they have bank holidays I am expected to pay even though the pre-school is shut, however when my older dd's were there and receiving vouchers I do not remember suddenly having to pay the full rate for bank holidays.

There is nothing in the contract about paying for bank holidays that occur during term time. Do you think I have grounds to refuse to pay for the 2 bank holidays - they also I expect me to pay for a full session when dd was there visiting for half of it with me there too filling in the paperwork.

Ring the LEA to ask them I'm really sure that they shouldn't be charging anything for the bank holidays as it's closed.

Asking you to pay for the trial session is really mean of them , most places wouldn't do that!

it wasn't a trial session though, it was half a trial session and I wasn't to leave her!
